Listmas 2024: Customizing the Perfect Christmas Gathering

It’s time for our wildcard week, folks!  While the rest of the month was dedicated to relationships, I thought I’d focus more on our surroundings for this week’s post.  Because who doesn’t enjoy decorating their home for Christmas and getting it nice and festive in time for all your guests to arrive?  So today, I’m…

Listmas 2024: The Duck’s Revised Christmas Guest List

Our last Listmas category before our wildcard week revolves around those characters we’d most want to spend the holidays with, whether it be due to our inkling that they’d be good gift-givers or just a lot of fun to be around.  I actually wrote a similar post back in 2022 if you want to check…

Link Will Be Playable in The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom

During last month’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo surprised everyone by not only revealing a new top-town Zelda adventure, but one in which Zelda herself will be stepping into the main character role.

Tears of the Kingdom is Bigger, But is it Better?

The short answer: yes.  The long answer, however, is just a bit more complicated. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the long-anticipated sequel to the most ambitious entry into the Zelda franchise to date, Breath of the Wild.  As the release date for this game neared, I couldn’t help but waver between…

The Duck’s Past Month with Tears of the Kingdom

Now that Tears of the Kingdom has been blessing our lives for roughly a month, I thought I’d return with another post to talk about my experiences with this truly massive game.  In that time, I’ve made a whole lot of progress, and so I’ll only be able to discuss the highlights of my adventure,…
